Colleague's got a picture of a car as desktop background. However that pic's height and width are only 40% of the desktop, and the background is set on tiles mode so that there's 4 times the pic in full, 4 times in half and 1 time a quarter.

Touch screen buttons that change their function a millisecond before you touch them

It's also a technological marvel, how they manage to program the things so that they reliably recognise the exact millisecond when your finger will touch the screen, to rearrange content in just the right moment.

I've noticed this a lot on websites lately with adverts. Most of the content has loaded so you're about to click on the link you want only for some poxy fucking advert to appear forcing all the content down causing a mis-tap. Super fucking annoying!

Got back from holiday a few days ago and unlike last year nobody was clapping on landing. This year it was carry on bags and feeling the need to hold everyone else up just because they couldn't sit down and wait to get books out from the overhead lockers.
